Girls Basketball Team Regrets Winning 100-0, Seeks Forfeit

Via FoxNews: A Texas high school girls basketball team on the winning end of a 100-0 game has a case of blowout remorse. How did it get that bad? Here's an excerpt:
Last week Covenant, a private Christian school in Dallas, defeated Dallas Academy 100-0. Covenant was up 59-0 at halftime. A parent who attended the game told The Associated Press that Covenant continued to make 3-pointers — even in the fourth quarter. She praised the Covenant players but said spectators and an assistant coach were cheering wildly as their team edged closer to 100 points.
As Ron Burgundy might say, "Stay classy, Dallas!" And for a Christian school, the coaches, as well as the player, simply should have known better far before the final score. Requesting a forfeit now is just silly. The game is over and the bed has been made. They now have to lay in it.
